Harvey Rayner is an English artist who lives and works in Upstate NY, USA. He attended The City & Guilds of London Art School. Rayner uses a strictly code-based practice to explore new forms of mark-making, where the subtlety and warmth of pre-digital media is reconstructed and synthesized into a fresh methodology and visual dynamic. Drawing on foundational ideas within the art-historical canon and reinterpreting them through algorithmically authentic methods, Rayner's work is rooted in twentieth century abstract picture making and strives to blur boundaries between past and future, and between human and machine made.
